Education: B.S. Degree in Geology from Norwich University – Military College of Vermont (1992)

Experience: For 19 years, I worked as a geologist (environmental professional) for four well known environmental engineering companies and have been involved at various levels on a number of large and highly visible projects. My clients have ranged from state and local governmental agencies (i.e. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and NJ Transit, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, University of North Carolina and the Piedmont Triad International Airport) to private clients (D.R. Horton – housing developer, Family Dollar Stores, and Ingersoll-Rand, Cooper Tire, Mateo Metals –battery recycling facility and junk yard, and the Deluxe Corporation). I have worked closely with several case managers from a number of state agencies (i.e. NCDENR, NJDEP, PADEP, and SCDHEC ) to resolve and/or comply with clients Notice of Regulatory Requirements and Notice of Violations. I have a successful track record in achieving “No Further Action” designations in some of the most environmentally regulated states in the nation.

My professional career has included: conducting environmental assessments (ASTM 2487-05 and AAI compliant), petroleum and hazardous waste site investigations (including RCRA Superfund and TSCA sites), comprehensive site assessments; environmental compliance audits, stormwater and wastewater permitting and compliance, boiler emissions compliance, safety and environmental compliance audits; soil and groundwater corrective action investigations; and overseeing the implementation of health and safety and compliance management procedures for governmental, commercial and industrial clients. I have performed environmental safety audits, review site-specific health and safety plans, and developed environmental management and operational safety procedures to reduce potential environmental concerns, develop more efficient methods to perform tasks and decrease a facility’s environmental footprint. I have also worked with many of my commercial and municipal clients to meet their permitting and hazardous waste compliance needs while assisted them in the development of innovative approaches to reduce or eliminate monitoring and reporting requirements under various permitting programs. I have knowledge of OSHA, SARA, Title III, RCRA, CAA, CWA and other state and EPA regulatory requirements.

As the Health and Safety Coordinator (HSC), I am been responsible for promoting Golder’s safety culture awareness initiative that has reduced injuries associates with the performance of office and project (field) related activities. During my ongoing service as HSC, the North Carolina operations continue to experience over 110,000 working hours (ongoing and consecutive) of productivity, free of work-related injuries or exposure. I provided professional and technical health and safety related assistance to office and field personnel and have conducted training related to the implementation of new and existing corporate health and safety procedures and programs.

My responsibilities as HSC include: the development, review, and implementation of site-specific and office related safety and health programs; the tracking and coordination of North Carolina personnel training classes; the review of established office and site-specific safety procedures; the development, preparation and updating of field and office Emergency Response Plans; and conducting investigations of job site “hazards” and “near miss” events while conducting root-cause analysis investigations. I also recommend, initiate and/or direct the most immediate, cost-effective and/or necessary corrective measures to reduce/eliminate future safety concerns/exposure.
